Have you reached out to Mark for a node number etc..?  He's 1@1.wwivnet or you
can email him directly using his link from his website contact/info tab at
http://www.weather-station.org

It's been ages since I've set up wwivnet, but the process should be pretty
easy.

Set up the network via wwivconfig, I like to use a path similar to
wwiv\networks\wwivnet
and then place all of the network files there, then run the network3.  Judging
by your path though, are you running Linux?
